NAGS Club bulletin: 10 April

Research online

The World Undergraduate Equine Research Database is a simple and easy way of gaining information on past dissertations by equine students. It is accessible on the Internet and is maintained by the Weatherbys Group.

Information is summarised and can be searched by using keywords, categories or establishments. Browsing is free, although there may be charges from the relevant institutions for shipment and supply of the research.

Visit www.wuerd.org for more information or to look at past research.

NAGS features in H&H

Horse & Hound magazine will be publishing a two-part feature on elite grooms based around former international groom Lucy Katan’s presentation at the National Equine Forum.

The 24 April issue will focus on the problems of recruiting and retaining world-class grooms, while May’s edition of NAGS, will look at how elite grooms might be encouraged to remain in their profession.
